Fluorescent Lamps

<< Services

Research shows that there are more than 100 million fluorescent and highway lamps used in the United Kingdom each year which produce in excess of 3,100 tonnes of waste material which, until recently, has ended up in landfill sites.

Even though each lamp only contains a small amount or mercury the sheer volume of waste means that large quantities of hazardous mercury could find their way into our land and water supplies.

The mercury from only one fluorescent tube can contaminate up to 30,000 litres of water beyond a safe standard for drinking.

The Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005, which cam into force in July 2005, incorportated the European Waste Catalogue definitions to assess waste, under these definitions fluorescent tubes are classed as Hazardous Waste and MUST be handled in accordance with the regulation.

Envirogreen in the UK offers a fully compliant and environmentally sound solutions utilising plant which achieves 99% plus recycling of all to component materials and recovery of mercury and hazardous materials.
